PrintrBoard compact cooling enclosure

thingiverse

A protective case for the PrintrBoard Rev.E Provides cooling of the drivers through simple ventilation ducting Made for MAXbot (see http://labitat.dk/wiki/MAXbot) OpenSCAD file is provided in case you want to fiddle or modify to fit other revisions of PrintrBoard Version 2 provides a wider and deeper cutout for the USB plug plus room for a ISP programming header as well as a few other minor changes. Instructions Slice & print at around 0.15mm layers and hexagonal infill of 20-25% Attach heatsinks onto the stepper drivers Attach a 4010 fan and a "fan grill 40mm" (just search for it here on thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/search?q=fan+grill+40mm) with four M3x15's screwed directly into the case The enclosure can be attached to it's surroundings by cable ties through the four rectangular holes in the bottom part Extra notes: The slot hole for the microSD might be a bit too small, but it's easy to cut away approx. 1 mm from the top part of the enclosure to make a better fit for the card. Also you might want to attach a piece of tape to the rear of the microSD card so it will be easier to pull out. Hopefully next version of the PrintrBoard will feature "push-to-eject" https://labitat.dk/wiki/Printrboard_amendments
